West Virginia Code Chapter 22. Environmental Resources § 22-13-10. Inspections; orders to compel compliance with permits; service of order

After issuance of the division's permit for any such modification, the director and duly authorized representatives may make field inspections of the work on the modification, and, after completion thereof, may inspect the completed modification, and, from time to time, may inspect the maintenance and operation of such modification.

To compel compliance with the terms and conditions of the division's permit for any such modification and with the plans and specifications therefor and the plan of maintenance and method of operation thereof, the director is hereby authorized after reasonable notice to make and enter an order revoking or suspending such permit and directing the person to whom such permit was issued to stop or suspend any and all work on such activity or, to take affirmative action to correct the deficiencies specified in such order so there will be full compliance with the terms and conditions of such permit and with the plans and specifications therefor, and the plan of maintenance and method of operation thereof.

The director shall cause a copy of any such order to be served by registered or certified mail or by a law-enforcement officer upon the person to whom any such permit was issued. The director shall also cause a notice to be served with the copy of such order, which notice shall advise such person of his or her right to appeal to the board by filing a notice of appeal on the form prescribed by the board for such purpose, with the board, within the time specified in and in accordance with the provisions of section seven, article one, chapter twenty-two-b of this code.
